“Compassion is the keen awareness of the interdependence of all things.” – Thomas Merton

From “Lincoln 365,” by Arnold Kunst

April 20

'Much is being said about peace, and no man desires peace more ardently than I. Still I am yet unprepared to give up the Union for a peace which so achieved could not be of much duration.'

- Abraham Lincoln

‘Focus on the big picture. In 20 years you’re bound to forget all about whatever it is that seems so upsetting right now, so don't allow the thing to be blown out of proportion in the meantime.'

- Arnold Kunst
